Chris Matthews Meltdown

After reading the transcript and listening to this rant by Chris Matthews this morning - I had these observations:

1. Chris Matthews has the type of mindset that probably criticised Ronald Reagan for calling the Solviet Union an Evil Empire. I can picture a young Matthews seething about that comment thinking "He can't say that - that takes away our ability to negotiate with these people. Reagan should have checked with the State Department before using language like that."

2. Matthews is seriously stuck in a 60's - Vietnam War mindset.

3. Read the transcript and check how many times Matthews is basically just suggesting a policy of appeasement. Peace in our time!

4. I gather Matthews advice to Israel would be the equivalent of "its going to happen - just lay back and enjoy it."
